Specifying an Insert
Boss Design Specification
Hole Preparation
The special Hi-Tork hole form is specifically designed for moulding. Dimensions for the hole are detailed in diagram and table overleaf.
Installation
The fastener may be installed using either a pre-heating process or using heat generated by ultrasonics. Where pre-heating process is used, care must be exercised to ensure that the fastener softens but does not melt the plastics. P.S.M offers a wide range of pre-heating installation equipment which ensures high levels of process capability and throughput.
Wall Thickness
A general guide to minimum wall thickness is given in the data table but this will vary depending upon the nature of the plastic. Where thinner walls are required, these can often be accommodated, but consultation with the PSM Technology Centre or your local sales office and pre-production testing is strongly advised.
Performance Data
The complexity of materials and variations in service conditions make it impossible to detail fastener performance in individual applications. Please consult with the P.S.M Technology Centre or your local sales office for specific application advice.
